Same error here, building on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Build ends with

/usr/local/lib/libgflags.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libglog.la] Error 1

This build attempt immediately followed building and installing gflags 2.1.1 
using cmake && make && make install - there is a libgflags.a installed at the 
location described. Version compatibility issue?

Running in to this same issue on Gentoo, same versions
Gflags 2.1.1 and glog 0.3.3

Same issue on Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit, g++ 4.8.2, glibc 2.19
Solved by compiling gflags-2.1.1 with -fPIC:

$ tar -xvf gflags-2.1.1.tar.gz
$ cd gflags-2.1.1 && mkdir build && cd build
$ CXXFLAGS="-fPIC" cmake .. -DGFLAGS_NAMESPACE=google
$ sudo make install

Then install glog-0.3.3 as usual.
